Sometimes shortcodes appear in Relevanssi search results. There is a simple way to filter them out. Copy & Paste the code below into your theme’s functions.php file and replace ‘vc_’ or ‘divider’ with the name of your shortcode.
When you’re done, you need to go into the Relevanssi settings and re-index the site to see the results.
For removing Visual Composer Shortcodes:
add_filter('relevanssi_pre_excerpt_content', 'trim_rv_shortcodes'); function trim_rv_shortcodes($content) { $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?vc_.*?\]/', '', $content); return $content; }
For removing shortcodes that begin with ‘divider’:
add_filter('relevanssi_pre_excerpt_content', 'trim_rv_shortcodes'); function trim_rv_shortcodes($content) { $content = preg_replace('/\[\/?divider.*?\]/', '', $content); return $content; }
